SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Committee advises the Secretary 

on the necessary elements of a 

comprehensive policy approach to 

supply chain competitiveness designed 

to support national economic 

competitiveness and U.S. export growth, 

encouraging innovation, facilitate the 

movement of goods, and improve 

competitiveness of U.S. supply chains 

for goods and services in the domestic 

and global economy; and on regulatory 

policies and programs and investment 

priorities that affect the competitiveness 

of supply chains. The Committee 

provides detailed policy and technical 

advice, information, and 

recommendations to the Secretary 

regarding: 

(1) national, state, or local factors in 

trade programs and policies that affect 

the efficient domestic and international 

operation and competitiveness of U.S. 

global supply chains from point of 

origin to destination; 

(2) elements of national policies 

affecting the movement of goods, 

infrastructure, investment, and 

regulatory factors that affect supply 

chain competitiveness and 

sustainability; and 

(3) information and data systems to 

generate metrics that can be used to 

quantify and improve supply chain 

performance. 

The Department intends for the 

Committee to focus on the current 

challenges facing the supply chain 

during this charter term. 

II. Membership 

Members will be selected based on 

their demonstrated professional or 

personal qualifications and experience 

relevant to the functions and tasks of the 

Committee. Members shall be selected 

in a manner that ensures that the 

Committee remains balanced with 

respect to the diversity of the supply 

chain sector, including with regard to 

geographic location and company size. 

The diverse membership of the 

Committee ensures perspectives and 

expertise reflecting the full breadth of 

the Committee’s responsibilities and, 

where possible, the Department of 

Commerce will also consider the ethnic, 

racial and gender diversity of the United 

States. 

Members of the Committee shall 

represent companies, organizations, and 

stakeholders involved in the U.S. 

supply chain, with at least one 

individual representing each of the 

following: supply chain firms or their 

associations; users of supply chains 

(e.g., retailers, distributors, 

manufacturers or other sectors); freight 

transportation providers; ports; and 

academia. Based on the balance of 

viewpoints currently represented on the 

Committee, we encourage 

representatives of workers in the supply 

chain, representatives from the 

agriculture and cold chain sectors, as 

well as the retail and e-commerce 

sectors, and the other sectors referenced 

above. 

Other than the experts from academia, 

all members shall serve in a 

representative capacity, expressing the 

views and interests of a U.S. company 

or U.S. organization with which they are 

affiliated (e.g., as an employee or 

director), as well as its particular sector. 

Members serving in such a 

representative capacity are not Special 

Government Employees. The members 

from academia serve as experts and 

therefore are Special Government 

Employees (SGEs) and shall be subject 

to the ethical standards applicable to 

SGEs. Members who serve as SGEs must 

certify that they are not Federallyregistered lobbyists. 

Each member of the Committee must 

be a U.S. citizen and not registered as 

a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents

made without regard to political 

affiliation. Self-nominations will be 

accepted.

compensated for their services or 

reimbursed for their travel expenses. 

The Committee shall meet 

approximately quarterly, or as 

determined by the DFO. Members shall 

serve at the pleasure of the Secretary.
